Patagona Nano-Air Light Women's Jacket

Built around stretchy, air-permeable insulation, the Patagonia Nano-Air Light Women's Jacket is a midlayer you never have to take off. It breathes so well during hard efforts that you can leave it on through the climb, then it banks warmth the moment you stop.

Why we like it:

The breathable insulation is the whole story, letting sweat escape instead of trapping it the way a standard puffy would.

Features and Functions:

Patagonia insulates the jacket with 40 gram FullRange insulation, a lofted synthetic that stretches and lets air pass through it for constant temperature regulation, all wrapped in a stretch-woven recycled shell with a DWR finish. Zippered handwarmer pockets, stretchy cuffs and hem that seal in warmth, and Fair Trade Certified construction rounds out an easy grab for stop-and-go days.

Fit and Sizing:

The cut is trim and stretchy for active layering, and the fit lands true.

Bottom Line:

It is at its best on high-output outings like ski touring and resort laps where you keep moving through the cold. Ideal for women who hate the on-off layering dance.
